Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 447 We promised too many things!
In the middle of the night, in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a man wearing the clothes of a jailer slipped out of the prison openly.

After this person slipped out for a long time, the criminal department found the dead jailer and the prisoner who had been dead for a long time in that cell.

The people in the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly reported the matter to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Yang Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, got up from the bed in the middle of the night to investigate and sent someone to hunt him down.

However, what made him desperate was that this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he couldn't find any trace of it.

In normal times, he might report Yu's death and close the case hastily.But now the entire capital is under martial law, and soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere on the streets. Obviously, this matter cannot be concealed at all.

If this prisoner is caught by the soldiers and horses of Wucheng, or the Jinyiwei and Jingying outside the city, it will be difficult for him to explain in the end.

Therefore, Yang Jing thought over and over again, and could only bite the bullet and report the matter.

When Yang Jing rushed to the gate of the palace early in the morning and waited to report, Jin Yiwei's spies at the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already informed Erhu of the matter, and Erhu had informed the matter to the old man who was staying in Fusi, Beizhen. Zhu.

Lao Zhu only asked one sentence after knowing this.

"Who is the one who ran away?"

"Back to the emperor, according to the people in the criminal department, this person is called Han Qing, who is a member of the Imperial College and teaches at the Hope School. He has a good relationship with the fourth grandson..."

"Han Qing?"

Old Zhu smiled coldly when he heard this.

"It was him!"

"Han Qing...Han Qing..."

"The country of our Zhu family is Huo De. He took a Qing character as his name. This is for our Zhu Ming country!"

"If this fellow establishes a country in the future, should it be called Dahan, or Daqing?"

Lao Zhu talked to himself, but Erhu beside him broke out in a cold sweat.

There was such a big mistake this time, wouldn't the emperor smash the entire punishment department?

However, to his surprise, after Lao Zhu said a few words to himself, he just ordered him to send the sea arrest document and it was over.

"My lord, do you want to force the whole city?"

Lao Zhu glanced at Erhu, and then asked a question.

"Do you know how many people there are in the capital?"

"Do you know how big the capital is?"

"Return the entire city... Do you want everyone in the world to know that the emperor's grandson of Ming Dynasty is lost?"

Erhu said unwillingly.

"That can't just wait, I have to do something..."

Old Zhu sneered when he heard this.

"Well!"

"You go and look for it. If you can't find Han Qing or our eldest grandson, then you can come and see him!"

The two tigers said without hesitation when they heard the words.

"Impressive order!"

Lao Zhu looked at Erhu who ran out without looking back, and sighed helplessly.

This is not only a perverted tiger, but also a stupid tiger.

In fact, Lao Zhu no longer had any hope of finding his grandson alive. Given his enmity with the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect must have no reason to let his grandson live.

As the grandfather of the emperor, he can only severely punish the White Lotus Sect and avenge his grandson.

Just how to inform the world of the news of the grandson's death?

To die of illness, or to die of illness?
Ugh!
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu couldn't help sighing again.

Not to mention that he has no interest in Han Qing, he has no interest in government affairs, new laws and so on.

It's not even worth living.

If you can get Da Sun's life back, let him die immediately!

Morning morning the next day was canceled again.

All the subordinate officials in the Wenhua Palace also failed to welcome the emperor's grandson, but got a refusal because the emperor's grandson was sick and unable to be a director.

Gao Ming, as the number one civil servant in the Wenhua Palace, realized something big happened yesterday.

It stands to reason that even if the grandson of the emperor is really sick, someone should be sent to inform him, or let him take important documents to deal with.

Although Gao Ming was full of doubts, he still maintained his superficial decency, handled the affairs in the Wenhua Palace in an orderly manner, and helped the emperor's grandson manage the huge property.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Zongjun's performance was much more flustered, even sitting on a chair, it was as if his ass had grown mustard, and he had to stand up and walk around a few times from time to time, and then kept looking towards the Qianqing Palace.

Gao Ming wanted to reprimand him several times, but finally held back.It wasn't until after lunch that I saw Zhang Zongjun running in in a panic, so I reprimanded him mercilessly.

"Zhang Zongjun, how decent is your flustered look all day long!"

"Don't think that you don't have to do anything if the emperor's grandson is not here!"

"The affairs of the overseas feudal vassals have always been handled by you. Have you selected the new stationed personnel? When will you be able to leave for the vassal state?"

Zhang Zongjun ignored Gao Ming's words, and instead stepped forward and dragged him to a remote corner.

"Master Gao, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"The emperor's grandson..."

"Isn't the emperor's grandson sick?"

"no!"

"I heard from the eunuch in the palace that the emperor's grandson was kidnapped by gangsters, and now the whole city is searching!"

When Gao Ming heard this, he felt his eyes go dark, and his body was wobbling like he was about to fall down at any time.

"You bullshit!"

"How can the grandson of the emperor..."

Zhang Zongjun supported Gao Ming, and then pulled him to sit on the chair.

"Master Gao, it's not that the lower officials talk too much."

"Actually, yesterday, I noticed something was wrong. There are too many officers and soldiers on the street. They are obviously hunting important criminals!"

"Then the emperor's grandson and His Majesty both fell ill at the same time. His Majesty still showed his face, but the emperor's grandson has not shown since the night of New Year's Eve..."

"On the days when it was supposed to be a holiday, the officials were also called up to be on duty normally..."

"All of this indicates that something big has happened!"

Even now Gao Ming could hear something was wrong.

"The big event you're talking about is the kidnapping of the grandson of the emperor, right?"

Zhang Zongjun nodded heavily.

"Yes!"

"It's just that this matter is still being suppressed and has not been announced to the government and the public. However, as the courtiers of the emperor's grandson, you and I should make preparations early!"

Gao Ming's expression froze when he heard this.

"What do you want to prepare for?"

Zhang Zongjun knew that Gao Ming had misunderstood him as soon as he heard it, so he quickly explained.

"Master Gao, where are you going!"

"The two of us have been greatly favored by the emperor's grandson, so we can't let the emperor's new legal person die!"

"The two of us have to hold on and guard for the grandson of the emperor..."

Gao Ming's face softened a little when he heard this, and then he cursed.

"Shut your crow's mouth!"

"The grandson of the emperor will be fine!"

"I will be fine... I will return safely..."

Gao Ming muttered to himself for self-hypnosis, but just talking, tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.

Although the emperor's grandson is usually very lazy, asking him to approve a memorial will always push back and forth, wishing to throw all the work to himself.

But as long as he is here for a day, Wenhua Palace will have a backbone, and everyone will be motivated to do things.

When Gao Ming thought that the grandson of the emperor was gone, or would never be here, he felt flustered in his heart.

This is not only about his lifelong ideals and ambitions, but also about his lifelong expectations.

Zhang Zongjun is a smart man, he doesn't have such great ambitions and ideals as Gao Ming, he is just an official fan who compromises with reality.

Therefore, after calming Gao Ming's emotions, he began to discuss with him how to deal with the current work.

"Lord Gao, many important matters can't wait for the emperor's grandson, so you should hurry up and make up your mind!"

"The silver and gold ingots brought back from Japan have arrived in Hong Kong. The casting of the fourth batch of coins is imminent. Look..."

Gao Ming nodded quickly when he heard the words.

"I approve!"

"The emperor's grandson's seal is in the hands of the old man, and the old man approves this matter on behalf of the emperor's grandson!"

"There is also the matter of Jinling Shipyard, which needs to deploy manpower and workers..."

"Also, Mrs. Ning sent a letter to the emperor's grandson. Now that the emperor's grandson is not here, why don't we open it and have a look?"

"Madam Ning..."

The so-called Mrs. Ning was Li Ning, the former favorite concubine of the Prince's Mansion. After Li Ning went to Japan by boat, she met a tea house with the gold and silver she carried with her.

As the so-called foreign monks can recite scriptures, coupled with Li Ning's experience in the Prince's Mansion, the royal nobility tainted on her body has attracted countless Japanese celebrities.

Zhang Zongjun was ordered by the emperor's grandson to carry out the timing of separation and division, and Mrs. Li Ning was also used to become the spokesperson of the emperor's grandson in Japan.

Gao Ming also knew that Mrs. Li Ning had a special status, once someone sent a letter, it would definitely be a big deal.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, he immediately agreed to Zhang Zongjun's suggestion and opened the letter with him to read.

The two quickly read the letter, but after reading it, they were in a dilemma again.

According to the content of the letter, Yan Mingyuan Daoyi is promoting the merger of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and has even sent people to the Southern Dynasty to negotiate and discuss the ownership of the three artifacts.

If the emperor's grandson is present, no matter how tricky it is, it will be easy to handle.

Now that the emperor's grandson is not here, neither of them has the right to deal with this matter.

"Zhang Zongjun, what do you think should be done about this?"

Zhang Zongjun glared at Gao Ming displeased.

"Don't hurt me!"

"This is a major event that involves the struggle for the kingship of the vassal. It is beyond my control!"

Gao Ming said tentatively when he heard the words.

"How about a few days?"

"Wait for the emperor's grandson to come and make a decision!"

"What if the grandson of the emperor doesn't come back?"

"you shut up!"

"I found out why your mouth is so stinky, don't say what you shouldn't say!"

"Master Gao, don't be naive!"

"To be honest, it's hard to say that we can work for a few more days. Maybe it won't be long before Daming has a new grandson, and we will have to be kicked out of the palace!"

"Therefore, while we still have power in our hands, let's do more for Daming, the world, and... the grandson of the emperor!"

When the two were arguing, in a clean room in Beizhen Fusi, Han Yushang slowly woke up from a coma.

After waking up again, Han Yushang saw the room with bright and clean windows, and saw the sunlight coming in through the light-transmitting window, with a rare smile on his face.

However, just as she was immersed in this beautiful afternoon, a tall, thin old man walked in with a gloomy face.

The smile on Han Yushang's face froze in an instant, and those memories that she didn't want to think about, and she didn't want to remember, also instantly came to mind.

"Butcher Zhu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat calmly on the chair by the window, looking at Han Yushang lightly.

"The person you want to save is Han Qing, right?"

Han Yushang couldn't help shaking when he heard this.However, she quickly reacted and said calmly.

"You lied to me?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell you who it is. If you want to save your grandson, you have to release all the prisoners!"

Old Zhu just smiled lightly when he heard the words.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell us where the eldest grandson is, and we will let you and Han Qing go!"

"you do……"

Before Han Yushang could say the word "dream", Lao Zhu interrupted him.

"But, we have a condition!"

"You and Han Qing can't stay in Daming in the future. If we find out that you are still in Daming, we will crush you!"

Han Yushang hesitated when he heard this.

In principle, Zhu Tuhu didn't need to talk to him about this condition. Now that he raised this condition, does it mean that he really intends to let himself and Han Qing live?

Han Yushang hesitated again and again, and finally spoke with difficulty.

"I want to see him!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he flatly refused.

"no!"

"You don't want to see Han Qing before we meet Dasun!"

Han Yushang immediately showed a sly smile when he heard the words.

"Zhu Tuhu, you finally revealed your secrets!"

"Before you pretended not to care, and said that you have many children and grandchildren, you were just lying to me..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without hesitation.

"Yes!"

"The one we care about the most is Yunxie, and the one we love the most is also Yunxie."

"If we had the choice, we would even be willing to die for him!"

"We can only close our eyes with peace of mind if we hand over Daming to Yunxi!"

"So, as long as you hand over our eldest grandson, we don't need to pursue what happened to you and Han Qing!"

When Lao Zhu said this, he said to Han Yushang earnestly.

"My child, you are still young, and you will have a lot of time in the future."

"You can marry, have children, and have many ways to live. There is no need to live in the hatred of the previous life."

"You are also someone who has met our grandson. In all fairness, how is our grandson's character?"

When Han Yushang heard this, he immediately remembered the night when he was alone with Zhu Yunxi.

She originally thought that Zhu Yunxi would mess with herself, or make herself do embarrassing things.

However, Zhu Yunxi didn't do anything, he didn't even look at himself, he just asked her to sing a song to him.

The tune is very strange, but the lyrics are very moving and pure.

Flying Lao Leng in the blue sky
I look at Jinling from the mountain
Listen to the mother's voice
Looking forward to piercing the mountains...

Han Yushang subconsciously hummed the song from that year. The reason why she missed the best time and didn't do it was because she was moved by this song.

If Zhu Yunxi's identity as the grandson of the emperor is removed, he is just a poor child who lost his mother since he was a child, and his heart is full of longing and nostalgia for his mother. How can she be so cruel?

Listening to Han Yushang's humming, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to display his emotional offensive.

"We were not mean to you back then, were we?"

"Although we didn't know your identity back then, we still ordered someone to give you money and help you get rid of your humble status..."

Han Yushang trembled again when she heard this.

That's right, no matter how I say it, I have accepted the old man's favor back then.

It can be seen from this that even though this old man is vicious in every way, he treats his grandson really well, and even brought himself, an outsider, under his favor.

"Girl!"

"Give yourself a chance, and give us a chance."

"Tell us about Zhu Yunxi's whereabouts!"

Even though Han Yushang had many years of experience in rebellion, he couldn't bear Lao Zhu's insight into people's hearts after all, and his heart gradually became loose.

"You really know what you say?"

"can!"

"Can you really let me and uncle go?"

"The premise is that you can't stay in Daming!"

"We still have a lot of believers, we want to take them with us!"

"no!"

"No matter what religion they believe in, they are all citizens of Daming, and they must die on the land of Daming!"

Lao Zhu refused straightforwardly, but it frightened Erhu and Qin Deshun who were listening in the corner outside the door.

The emperor is really, can't he coax this female bandit into telling the truth about the whereabouts of the emperor's grandson?
However, to their surprise, after some bargaining between the two in the room, the female bandit actually revealed the whereabouts of the empress grandson!

"You are the emperor, you must mean what you say!"

"We can write you an imperial decree!"

"Okay, let's just trust you once!"

"After we captured the emperor's grandson, I handed him over to ten confidantes, and gave them ten boats to go to different places."

"There is a lottery when the boats are divided, and I don't know who gets which lottery, which boat goes where..."

When the two people hiding outside the door heard this, they secretly scolded the female bandit for her cunning.

"So, I don't know where Zhu Yunxi was taken."

Lao Zhu said that he didn't care when he heard the words.

"fine!"

"You just need to tell us all ten locations!"

"it is good!"

"You order someone to remember..."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu hurriedly ordered someone to bring in a pen and paper, and then wrote down the location in detail.

However, just when he wrote down the ten locations and was about to send someone to find them quickly, he suddenly heard the witch speak again.

"However, none of these ten locations may be available."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I did one more thing when drawing lots, and that was to let the person who got the bamboo stick decide the location himself."

"If Zhu Yunxi happens to be on this person's boat, then I don't know where he will be dragged..."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu wished he could tear her apart, so he could only ask while suppressing his anger.

"If that's the case, how can we find our grandson?"

Han Yushang showed a sly smile when he heard this.

"If this is the case, then I can only be released. Only when I appear in a specific place will someone take the initiative to contact me and inform me of Zhu Yunxi's whereabouts."

"Oh, right!"

"I also made an agreement with my confidants that as long as they don't hear from me for three days, they can kill people!"

"Zhu Tuhu, if you want to ensure the safety of the emperor grandson, you'd better order someone to release me, otherwise even if you find him, it will be just a corpse in the end!"

"You think beautiful!"

No matter how stupid Lao Zhu was, he still knew that he was played by this little girl.

Old Zhu hammered the table heavily, and then walked out with a livid face.

After coming to the outer room, Lao Zhu called Erhu to give instructions.

"Er Hu, quickly order people to search according to these ten locations!"

"As long as we find our eldest grandson, we will chop this woman up immediately!"

Erhu reminded foolishly when he heard this.

"My lord, didn't you just promise this demon girl that you would let him go with Prince Xiaoming?"

Old Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"We promised a lot!"

"All those years when we started the incident, we promised Yuan Ting to be a minister and not to rebel!"

"Uh uh..."

Erhu and Qin Deshun were taken aback when they heard Lao Zhu's words, and then they patted a rainbow fart in unison.

"The emperor is holy!"
